What's this BV bag called?

[pineapples]

hello everyone, i'm new to this forum and have never purchased a BV bag but am thinking about it because you all seem to love your bags very much! ...i recently saw this bag for sale and would like to know what it's called

Will the strap feel comfortable while carrying heavy stuff? Like a laptop. Thank you in advance!

pineapples - The bag looks like a Veneta. I'm not sure it is the Maxi size. I don't think I could carry a small laptop in anything smaller than the Maxi Veneta, and even then it would be cumbersome. I have never seen this bag in that pink color. Are you certain it is authentic? BV has been copied quite a bit.

Also, if you are looking for a bag for your laptop, BV makes some nice messenger bags that can be worm cross body to help distribute the weight of a computer.

Looks like a medium, or maybe large veneta to me, definitely not big enough for a laptop. I wouldn't carry a laptop in any of the venetas, actually. To me they're meant to slouch. There are other BV bags that would be much better! Good luck!

I'm pretty sure it's a medium veneta. the above posters are right -- venetas are not laptop-friendly, since the worth of the bag is in the slouch!

oh...thanks so it's not good for carrying heavy stuff? i like this style so much though...

pineapples - I like the Veneta, too! It could be a great regular bag for you. But look into the messengers for a laptop. Those have squared off bottoms and are meant for rectangular items such as a laptop. The Veneta is slouchy.

BV did come out with a hot pink color---in 2006 I think (or maybe 2005). I remember a tPFer had one.

^^ Yup! From I can remember, they had hot pink, orange and green. A lot of them were left on the sale table at Saks that year.
